CBS's Omnibus, a 90-minute "arts magazine," brought sophisticated programming to TV audiences every Sunday afternoon from 1952 to 1961. On October 11, 1953, Orson Welles made his highly anticipated TV debut on the show, playing the title role in Peter Brook's groundbreaking production of Shakespeare's King Lear. This historic performance is presented here, newly restored and remastered—available for the first time since its original broadcast on CBS. Also included is a 16-page booklet with contributions by Peter Brook and Orson Welles biographer Simon Callow.
